Nadia Sabbioni born in Lugano (Switzerland) on 15 November 1952. From 1973 to 1978, she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and Milan-Brera, where she graduated in the painting section. Between 1980 and 1985, he taught visual education at middle and vocational schools in the Canton of Ticino. In 2008, she won a scholarship for a six-month stay in Paris at the Cité internationale des arts. She then gave sculpture courses for adults in her city of residence in Carrara. Her work alternates between painting, sculpture, photography, installations and design.
Statement:
My research has always revolved around space in different ways.
Subjective space, physical space, spelling of the earth, man's condition between earth and universe.
I reaffirm therefore the importance of constructing-building in the wider sense, with a view in which man can regain possession of his wholeness. Indeed, the act of building is by extension the principle and edification of human thought.
In recent works the essence of this act, thus as a primordial act, is deliberately created with a few elements that constitute its meaning.
